Report of the Secretary-General on Eritrea

UN Security Council S/2010/327

June 22, 2010

I. Introduction

1. In paragraph 22 of its resolution 1907 (2009), adopted on 23 December 2009, the Security Council requested me to report within 180 days on Eritrea’s compliance with the provisions of the resolution.

2. A note verbale was subsequently transmitted to the Permanent Mission of Eritrea to the United Nations on 22 April 2010 outlining the provisions of Security Council resolution 1907 (2009) and requesting information from the Government, by 7 June 2010, on the fulfillment of the provisions contained therein.

3. On 9 June 2010, the Government of Eritrea submitted a report on its compliance with resolution 1907 (2009) to the Secretariat.

This report is saying that Eritrea is moving to the right direction but this is just a game, Eritrea will never go to the right direction.We know the President Isaias and his group.
UN Security Council has to find out more on the Human right issues in Eritrea.
The Human rights issue in Eritrea has become beyond any one can understand.
Hundreds of people are detained in various detention centers across the country. There is no rule of law here. People are being detained for indefinite period of time. There are people i knew who has been detained for the last 9 years without charge. Children from the age of 10 are being detained, tortured and killed.I am sure this seems unbelievable, but even worse things are happening here in Eritrea. The International Community do have only a birds eye view of the situation. The government of Eritrea is doing all this Human right violation because the International Community is not responding accordingly. We hear people being killed here and there on international media but the situation in Eritrea and the suffering of the Eritrean people is not being discussed and broadcasted. Here we are loosing a generation.The situation in Eritrea is beyond any one can think of……..We are loosing a generation. People are being detained undergrounds where some of them are as small as a grave and with no ventilation, this is just like burying a person alive.
I have been there myself(in detention) for about 3 years.
I have witnessed rape, torture and death. Our people is suffering and dying. The International Community has to listen and respond to the pain and suffering of the Eritrean people.
Please spread the word.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Yours
